Chapter 397

"This, this..."

Da Mimi's face was pale as she carefully looked at the woman in the video.

Then,

Da Mimi asked tremblingly: "Who is the woman in this video?! Who on earth is it?!"

Reba and Andy looked at each other, knowing that Da Mimi's emotions were in chaos, so they didn't dare to speak.

Qin Feng, however, didn't avoid it and asked directly: "Sister Mimi, isn't it you?"

"Me?"

Da Mimi heard this and looked at Qin Feng with helplessness and bitterness: "Qin Feng, it's not me, it really isn't me..."

After speaking,

Da Mimi shed tears speechlessly: "But, even if it's not me, it might as well be..."

Qin Feng understood what Da Mimi meant.

The reason Da Mimi said it wasn't her first was because the woman in the video really wasn't her.

However,

even if Qin Feng, Andy, and Reba all believed the woman inside wasn't her,

no one else besides the three of them would believe it wasn't her.

Because the female lead in the video looked too much like Da Mimi—they were practically identical.

Furthermore, the two people's voices were extremely similar, almost indistinguishable from the real thing.

Therefore,

among the 1.4 billion people in Great Xia,

except for Qin Feng, Andy, and Reba who were willing to believe it wasn't Da Mimi,

the other billion-plus people would all conclude that this was Da Mimi!

No matter how you explain or compare it,

those billion-plus people would still choose to believe their own eyes,

because their eyes told them that this, goddammit, was Da Mimi—the real, authentic Da Mimi!

And immediately after,

Da Mimi and Jiaxing Media would face a storm of public opinion and social backlash.

Following that,

all of Da Mimi's endorsements would be canceled,

all TV dramas featuring Da Mimi would be urgently pulled from shelves,

and all projects that had already signed contracts with Da Mimi would be unilaterally terminated.

However,

these were just the beginning.

What followed,

first of all, would be the bombardment from various media and social opinion forces.

Then would be the continuous limit-down of Jiaxing Media.

Finally, it would be the total collapse of Da Mimi's reputation, with all Jiaxing artists being implicated.

As for the "The Vanishing Her" project, it would naturally come to an end without a cure.

Even if Da Mimi were to transfer this project at a low price now, no one would be willing to accept this hot potato.

Therefore,

because of this video, Da Mimi had practically been sentenced to death.

Her life would also be frozen at this moment, in this office.

The future Da Mimi would be a walking corpse that everyone had already seen...

At this moment,

no matter how strong or calm Da Mimi had been in the past, she had completely broken down.

Da Mimi opened her mouth, breathing heavily, trying to maintain the last bit of clarity to keep herself from fainting.

Large tears also slid down from the corners of Da Mimi's eyes.

Da Mimi's brain was already a mess, and she had no idea how to solve this dead end, so she could only cry numbly...

Andy, seeing this, had to let Reba wipe Da Mimi's tears.

Then Andy sighed lightly and looked at Qin Feng, asking: "Qin Feng, could this be a setup by Dong Tian?"

Qin Feng thought for a moment and then nodded: "Yes, but there should be someone pushing from behind Dong Tian; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to get a video like this."

"Is it possible that it's a deepfake?"

Andy pressed: "Just like those videos of me and Tian'ai, is Mimi's video also a special-effects synthesis?"

"No, it's real."

Qin Feng shook his head and said: "Synthesized videos, no matter how realistic they are made, will show some flaws, such as audio and video being out of sync, or the skin tone of the face and neck being different, etc."

"But I watched the video just now, and I can confirm it's not synthesized. Therefore, this video must have been prepared in advance by someone with a motive, specifically to block Sister Mimi, and it just happened to be used at this time!"

"How despicable!"

Andy heard this and gritted her teeth: "These people are becoming more and more unscrupulous in their actions. Aren't they afraid of being sanctioned?"

Qin Feng shook his head: "No, they aren't afraid. Andy, the investment circle has its own unspoken rules, but the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry are something we can't even imagine. To achieve their goals, they can use any means necessary! Your and Mimi's encounter today is a perfect example!"

"Now, let's not talk about this for a moment. Let's think about how to deal with the domino effect that follows."

"I know, Qin Feng."

Andy replied, looked at Da Mimi with some worry, and then said: "Because of this video, Da Mimi might have to say goodbye to the entertainment industry completely, and Jiaxing will also be implicated, with a conservative estimate of a loss of about three hundred million."

"And, there's also "The Vanishing Her" that Da Mimi has been leading recently. It's very likely that it won't be able to officially start filming because of Da Mimi. But if we were to replace Da Mimi at the last minute, this project would completely fall apart, so it's really quite difficult..."

Andy finished speaking and frowned, thinking carefully.

Tian'ai, seeing this, didn't know how to comfort Da Mimi or what to do.

So, Tian'ai could only go elsewhere to find tissues to hand to Reba, and then collect the tissues Da Mimi had used to wipe her tears and put them in the trash can...

The air pressure in the office suddenly dropped significantly.

Andy racked her brains but couldn't think of a way to break the situation, so she could only pinch her temples.

Qin Feng considered it seriously,

and then said directly: "I have a method."

Andy looked up at Qin Feng immediately.

Da Mimi and the other two also turned their gazes over.

Qin Feng then said directly: "Do not respond! But Da Mimi must continue her normal activities, and she must appear as if it has nothing to do with her in front of the media and the public."

"I know there will definitely be countless media reporters asking about this topic in roundabout ways, but Sister Mimi, you must remember: do not respond, absolutely do not respond! No matter how excessive their words or how shameless their language, do not respond!"

After Qin Feng finished speaking,

he looked at Andy and Da Mimi, who were somewhat puzzled, and said: "Human nature is just like this. The more you explain or deny, the more excited people will get, and the more they will focus on and speculate about it!"

"However, when you directly ignore people's questioning and provocation, they will instead gradually feel bored and might even start to doubt if they recognized the wrong person..."

"And the most critical point is that the internet's memory is only one month long. By next month, almost no one will care about the authenticity of that video, and by then, that's when we will exert our full strength!"
